Internship Program

The predoctoral internship at the VA Puget Sound Health Care System - American Lake is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association. The next site visit will be during the academic year 2015. The program has six funded positions and abides by the selection procedures used by APPIC.

Doctoral students in APA-accredited Clinical, Counseling and/or combined professional-scientific Psychology programs are eligible to apply. All coursework required for the doctoral degree must be completed prior to the start of the internship year, as well as any qualifying, comprehensive, or preliminary doctoral examinations. We prefer candidates whose doctoral dissertations will be completed, or nearly completed, before the internship. However, because internship is part of the pre-doctoral training requirement, interns must not be granted their degree by their academic institution prior to successful completion of the internship year.
